Takeing a break to lower tolerance.

[gee]

i've been a daily smoke since an year and a half now. smoking everyday. staying high from morning til nite. like im talking about 6-7 sessions a day.

now its highered my tolerance by alot. i need alot of bowls to get high and the high isnt as good.

so i decided to take a 2 week break which i am now on day 3 of. do u think it will lower my tolerance? and is there anything else you can do to help lowering it? i sweat enough at the factory and i work out at a gym.

[LifetimeSmoker]

Exercise is good to lower it... I just came off a 2 week break and mine is down some....So i'll be cool for a few more months or so....

[BongZoola]

eat healthy, exercise, water.

[ethsfreshman]

dont smoke every day.
smoke once or twice aweek... that
saves money
and
it helps you
get hgiher
when you
do smoke so
its negative in that you dont
smoke every
day
but its good in that the
highs are
reallly
good.

2 weeks might be overkill. I feel just as high as the first time after being down for 4 days. Tolerance in lab rats is completely gone after 7 days. Also tolerance seems to drop the most the first day that you take a break. After that, each day will only add a little bit to your next high.

[Nocturnal Stoner]

dude its properly hard for me i said on a thread tht i was gonna stop for a week, but i ended up smoking everyday until the end of the week, its quite hard but i think it will be worth it

ahah i thought 2 weeks wasnt gonna be enough. i read somewhere in a thread SIX MONTHS, fuck that! im on day 4 of my break, i'm just going to stop for the full 7 days.

Good choice. I was about to say, because you burn daily (especially 6-7 times at that) you are one of the lucky one's who can experience reverse tolerance. Basically, if your smoking 7 times a day, then after taking as little as 3-4 days off you will feel like it's your first time because your body was so used to it.:rasta:

[shovlboy]

2 week break is what you need my friend. I abuse my smoke also by having repetetive sessions a day. 2 weeks did alright for me.

[chillinoutblazebowls]

Yeah just about same situation as me....going hardcore for about a year and half.

Everytime I say im going to take a week off....I end up smoking that day....so im just gonna take it 1 day at a time...i hope to get to 4 days....cause i remeber when i took a family vacation i was fiending like crazy that 4th day.

GL man!

[big smoke07]

I havent smoke since i got busted last Saturday. Once i come back though im sure i'll get ripped as hell.

[Blood Shot Eyes]

idk what can lower your tolerance then just time. but in my opinion i doubt your tolerance will lower too much except for the first time you smoke after your break

[Dutch Masta]

Excersize or not.. if you dont smoke for two weeks you will completely reset your tolerance. Even if you were to smoke after three days of not smoking you would notice your tolerance went down significantly.

[Purple Banana]

Yeah a week wont do it. You're not a lab rat.

Ironically, I'm lowering mine back as well, and with each passing day, I find myself posting on these boards more and more... I smoke about 2 bowls a day 4-5 times a week, so not as much as you, but I'm using the drug test method- the day I test negative for a drug test is the day I'll spark up a nice bowl again. A bit of overkill, but I'm doing it just to see if I CAN do it, you know?

It's not that bad, although I missed my annual tradition to get stoned with my cousins using a munchie-producing strain for Thanksgiving... Those were the days...

Good luck! We can do it! We're not addicts!

[Budwan161]

As in, a strain that makes you more hungry than on average or..? How does that work?

[orangeman]

Yeah taking a break should lower your tolerance and help your lungs out too :). I also need to take a break, my lungs are just begging me :p. When I finally collapse, fall over and die I won't be surprised lol.

[gee]

just reduced burning to only twice a day, which i need to because im suspended til the 11th.

[Taiden]

Excersize or not.. if you dont smoke for two weeks you will completely reset your tolerance. Even if you were to smoke after three days of not smoking you would notice your tolerance went down significantly.

I smoke like once - twice a day (no more than 2 light bowls a day). I have been doing this for about a month, with inconsistant use (taking a day off for no reason etc etc). One time I took two days off, and on the third day I hit my bong. I felt really effing baked. This week I am putting it off until Wednesday when I am doing a burn run with a couple of friends.

[Purple Banana]

I'm still going 'sober' and taking a self-administered drug test tomorrow to see if I'd test negative after a week and a half of no more smoking. Just to see.

I have 2 grams in my pocket right now, and they smell awfully good :P

[Shrapnel]

I havn't smoked for about 3 days, aside from a hit off of a joint today that I couldn't resist. I'm planning on buying an eighth tomorrow and getting baked though.

[Pride]

A month reset my tolerance right back to 0. God damn.
A week is actually not enough.. try 2 weeks at most. Go for a month if you can, I swear it's crazy.

[NightProwler]

yo im on day 4 of my "break" (im being tested for the enxt 3 months) im already anticipating that first hit.. I've stashed my weed away in mason jars under my staircase haha

[orangeman]

dude its properly hard for me i said on a thread tht i was gonna stop for a week, but i ended up smoking everyday until the end of the week, its quite hard but i think it will be worth it

Lol same thing happens to me everytime. I think the only way I could really stop is if I knew I was about to have a drug test.

[Taiden]

Alright... no smoking until winter break starts tomorrow. Don't bother wishing me luck, I got this one in the bag. :D

I can't wait to have a fully reset tolerance... Until then I will brush up my rolling skills. :)

[SilentHawk36]

I also decided to take a month off from smoking.

Over thanksgiving break me and my bros burned alot, like a 8th each, in 4-5 days so i figured i need it.

Also i just wasnt getting that silly, awesome, high anymore. So far i am 10 days into it and cant wait for the next time i smoke, In 20 days.

Good luck, fellow breakers.

Hawk.

[orangeman]

Good job man. Don't fuck that break up. I feel so much better when I'm high after a break. I had to get a sample this week just to see what it was like and man it reminded me of when I first got high. It was so peaceful. Good luck man, stay in there :D.

edit:...I just noticed how old this thread is lol!

[gee]

yeah lol i was surirpised when i seen my name floating around the top

fuck i really need a break still

[Kindbud]

ummm. you guys are joking right?

[orangeman]

yeah lol i was surirpised when i seen my name floating around the top

fuck i really need a break still

Well take one, you'll feel better :D.

[Reefer Rogue]

6 days is all it takes. This has got me thinking that thc has been in my system for 2 years now, meaning that i haven't stopped smoking for more then 30 days. I wonder how many people are the same.

[Taiden]

Oh man. I was doing fine until I visited the local headshop. I bought myself a very cute little clear glass chillum... I really want to try it out, but I have to stay off until the 20th!

14 days left.. :(

[Greenhit]

I stoppped smoking June of 04. Not a single hit for almost two years. I started back up in may. I took two hits off a gravity bong and was glued to my couch for 3 hours. Amazing. 2 years may have been over kill but man it feels so good to be so high off a 1 hitter.:jointsmile:

[big smoke07]

I havent smoked in about a good 2 weeks. But my brother is coming down from college on the holidays and then it'll been about a month since i smoked and he says he will def. treat me to a good time. 1 blunt or a couple bowls and im going to be more stoned than i have been in the past year.

[gee]

havent smoked since friday, have 10 bucks for a gram but i think im just going to wait till the 2 week break is over from school.

excercising to burn the thc from my fat cells too, lol

[overdrive]

I took an 8 days break because I had the flu, and then I had surgery and couldn't smoke for that period of time either. Me and my buddy lit up like 4 bowls, needless to say I was rocked :stoned:

[Bob the Awesome]

I'm taking a break from January 1st (My friend's b-day) to January 20th (My b-day), not only for tolerance but to use the money I'd normally spend on weed to save towards getting a kief-catcher.

If you just want to drop tolerance, I'd just break for 4-6 days... breaking for more will do something, but it's not enough from what I've been able to to make a difference. For you, however, it might.

In the end, break for however long as you want. Nothing wrong with not smoking.

[gee]

7 days 2day lol first time taknig a week off.

good effects - could remember dreams, short term memory is slightly improved but all those beers shot that a little bit.

bad effects - actually feel the stress lol, wayy longer to sleep even when drunk, boredom, none of the fun times gettin blazed w/ friends

[PrisonerInGlass]

I have inconsistent smoking patterns. For instance, I will smoke nonstop for a week or two, then go two or three weeks without. I'm 16 and without a job, so money is not a constant for me. I have to wait until I have enough to buy more. It's really rewarding, because after 2 weeks, my tolerance goes down by A LOT and so I get fucking blown the next time I smoke.

[gee]

finally bought a dime, going from heavy dependant weed abuser @ the age of 16 and managing to resist burning for 12 days.

copped a gram of "Mulberry", friend said it was killer by comparing it to the crazy bud called "cr1nkle", smelled wayyy stronger on it and tons of crystals which i like.

good - am baked off my ass. Completely relaxed my back pain from i had from working only 2 days in the factory. FINALLY I COULD SLEEP LONGER THAN 5 HOURS! AND MUCH DEEPER!

yeah, not going to be taking a break for a long time but keep smoking weed to only 1once a day and not dependantly

[mr_vega]

ok im gonna go for a run 2nite and sweat my tolerance away.
